The boys of Fenway were good to the Parks - to the tune of $800.

Very early Monday morning, when the Red Sox won the World Series, a black leather couch the Parks family bought earlier this year became a freebie, courtesy of Jordan's Furniture's Monster Deal. The couch cost $800.

"It was really fun watching the games, sitting on the couch," said Jennifer Parks of East Bridgewater.

The Parks are among some 30,000 customers who participated in the spring promotion and now stand to recoup the money they spent. Jordan’s promised free sofas, chairs and beds to customers who bought the items between March 7 and April 16 if the Red Sox won the World Series.

Jordan's Furniture spokesman Heather Copelas declined to reveal the total amount of the payouts, which are being covered by an insurance policy the company purchased for the event.

To get the rebates, customers must fill out and file a form on the company's Web site.

John and Kim Figueiredo of Whitman bought bunk beds for about $1,000 for sons Matthew, 6, and Sam, 4, a purchase they planned after the birth of daughter Sophia last year.

They were among Jordan's customers who kept a close eye on the Red Sox during the season - and especially in the post-season.

"The first game, my husband said, 'We're one-quarter of the way to getting free furniture,'" Kim Figueiredo said.

Whether it was bunk beds or a new couch, the Fenway faithful said the championship was a double header - seeing their team take the World Series and seeing their family budgets replenished by the win.

"We're huge Red Sox fans," said Parks, who celebrated the World Series win and son Ryan's 7th birthday Monday.
